"So I write to have somebody. Everything I write has
a motive behind it. I write the same way I perform. I mean
you only perform because you want people to fall in
love with you. You want them to react to you."
-- Patti Smith, Please Kill Me

edmondchang.com is a kind of webography -- part autobiography, part geography, part performance, part travelogue, but all personal narrative. I have kept a journal for all of my adult life and the leap from paper to pixel seems a natural evolution. Since I keep a journal close to me in my everyday life, I have decided to develop an e-version of my writings. These collected entries are reflections, images, ideas, and inspirations about myself, my goals, my interests, and the world around me.

Just a note of warning, though. A simple caveat really -- though these pages are a slice of my life, they are not representative of the whole of my life or the depth and breadth of my world. Some may be written out of memory or out of the heat of the moment or out of precise calculation. There may be entries that are too personal. There may be entries that are not personal enough. Take them for what they are. I'll provide a grain of salt.
